Abstract :

Abstract: Due to the fact that this research was aimed at providing a lightweight protocol, therefore, by checking and analyzing, we will show that the protocol proposed in this research is superior to the protocols of Fotuhi and colleagues in some aspects of security and computing. The proposed protocol will be reviewed and shown, as claimed. It was found that the proposed protocol has both the characteristic of being lightweight and the characteristic of advanced security. By analyzing the security of the protocol, we showed that their proposed protocol is resistant to malicious port and asynchrony attacks.

Introduction: The Internet of Things includes an interconnected network that enables various types of communication and plays a critical role in the development of smart services to support and improve the activities of individuals and society. One of the most important concerns of those who use wireless networks is access information through the public channel considering security and privacy. Authentication is therefore important so that no entity, person, or non-virtual device can abuse the network and by maintaining the privacy of users who are using the network. Important information does not reach these people.

Method: We presented a protocol that, in addition to the mentioned features, it also has the feature of two-way authentication. The proposed protocol model consists of three main components which all three entities have already been approved at the registration stage and can communicate with each other to verify their identity. The overall goal is for both the user and the sensor to verify each other's authorization, which is verified by the gateway. This protocol is safe against attacks and finally compared the proposed protocol with the previous and based protocol.

Results: our outcomes from the proposed method showed that the proposed protocol is 24% in computing overhead and 26% Improves telecommunication overhead.

Discussion: In this research, an attempt was made to provide a protocol that would bring sufficient security requirements without the use of a smart card. Also, unauthorized users cannot access the protocol stages by ways such as repetition attacks, identity forgery, lack of synchronization between the sensor and the user, the ability to track and capture the sensor.
